Hello everyone. :icon_sunny: Just got home today from a trip to Seattle, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Texarkana and Indianapolis before heading home to Ohio.. Had to get out for a hunt to satisfy my urge to find some goodies. While I was gone my Ace was knocked over by my son and broke the head off of the frame. I had to tape it back on for now. This wasn't going to spoil my hunt tonight >:(. I'll have to figure out another way to mend it later.

Went back to the church picnic grounds where and old home used to stand before the turn of the 20th century. After about an hour I had found a 1906 IH, a 1911 V nickle, a 1942 Wheat and a gold plated ring which I thought was real when I first saw it. I didn't take my camera tonight as I normally do but here is what I found:

??? ??? Why, Thank you for regarding me as a Pro :laughing7:

Maybe its that pic of Josie Wales people are impressed with !
 
Very nice finds!!!!

For reference your shotshell is between 1911-1934.

Here is a link that can help you identify shotshells. a little warm water and a gentle toothpick rub will help you get an accurate reading on the shotshell. I can see REM UMC on top and No 12 on the sides it will also have something written on the bottom. Anyway just one more way to enjoy the history of your finds.
